Just like we had a group of schoolchildren come for a tour of the farm, we had a group of seniors come! Pavlina showed them around and they were really interested in seeing what we are doing. She said they were so wonderful, even coming out in the 90 degree heat we had that week! The asked a lot of questions about how we grow things, how we get rid of Japanese beetles, etc. They thought that the farm looked like an extra big garden. It really does – an extra, extra big garden! They asked how we control weeds. The answer is that we we pull them by hand, cut them down, mostly with a weed-eater, or roto-till between rows. No herbicides on this farm!
Pavlina enjoyed being the tour guide and reported that the people were “really sweet” and she was impressed that they still came out, even in the heat!
